Looks like an ATR clone to my eyes as well, in which case they've successfully managed to reverse engineer 20+ year old technology and hang a couple of current generation engines off it. Congratulations, but unless the price delta between this and a real ATR are more or less the same as a Geely vs a Volkswagen, I'm not at all convinced they'll sell very many outside friends and family. And even that's pushing it.
